I decided today that I was going to build a set of the silver proof ATB Quarters. I wanted something with both serious appeal and good value, and figured proof silver would be a good way to get both. I have long loved the ATB series quarters, and this seemed like a good next step for me. I just ordered to 2010 set from ebay and will be buying a Dansco date set for them all very soon. Anyone else out there doing a set of these? How are you enjoying them? And if you're making a set, do you include them with your P and D quarters, or keep them separate? I've already made my mind up to separate them, but I'm being curious. |

I have the Dansco PDSS set and they're gorgeous. I get impatient waiting for the P and D's to be released each year lol.

I have been buying the silver proof sets since 1995 and have enjoyed the additions of the statehood and ATB Quarters. |

I've purchased all of the Silver ATB Proof sets, and I am glad that I'm doing it. I've ordered all of mine from the mint, and last I knew they still had three of them available. They're just much more thought out than I felt that the State Quarters were. I only had to send one back because one of the George's had a rosy cheek. You won't be sorry, because they're just so darned pretty to gaze at. I say go for it! Edited by junior e

I love the design of the ATB Quarters. I wish the State Quarters had been thought out like the parks quarters were, as well, and I think having that circular "border" around the image on the reverse really sets them off. I'm looking forward to completing this set. Edited by skyshark124

I collect the silver state and ATB Quarters. I could care less about PDS, but I love me some silver proofs. I keep them in the "Book of Silver" display. I would share link, but still new here  |

Got my 2010-S silver proof quarters today. They are beautiful! I already placed an order for 2011 and 2013 (gotta get 2012 on ebay - the two I just ordered are from the same store). This will be a fun set to assemble! |

ATBs did you say? Silver proof ATBs? Why yes, yes I do believe I do...      I know you said silver proofs, but I was not going to cut out the other coins just to post the silvers. LOL The P&D coins in the Dansco are all from mint sets. I also have them in the OGP for the complete silver proof set and the quarters silver proof set. And we are putting together five lighthouse albums with P&D coins from mint rolls. And the extra mint rolls I have. OK, so I like this series, what can I say? |

Very impressive and beautiful set and the album really sets it off. My Grandson and I are working on some things, the Nat'l Park quarters being one of them. We like them too! Thanks for posting the pictures.

I have two danscos for ATB. One is just the p and d coins which I pull from circulation. The other is a blank quarters dansco with the proofs and silver proofs... It's awesome to look at and I love the series |

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the San Francisco Mint made Uncirculated quarters. Since 2012, a limited mintage of each National Park quarter has been struck in San Francisco. Each coin bears a distinct "S" mintmark, but are considered circulation-strike quarters.
Its an attempt to promote the National Park quarters and get Americans excited about collecting coins again. The last time the San Francisco Mint made circulation-strike quarters was in 1954.
